Me and my boyfriend did a car bootsale, not selling anything special, just some old bits which i'd found in my house and we made just over £150.

You'd be suprised how easily things like little pots of cheap make up sell!

Will definitely be doing another one when we get a chance.

Also, if you have old mobile phones which you don't use there is loads of websites which you can go on to work out what you'd get for them and if you're happy with the money they're offering then send them off.
I had a look to see how much I'd get for all my old, broken phones and worked out I'd get about £70!
If I was you I'd look at a few different websites though because some will give you alot more than others.

Hope this helps x

I read in this Magazine (My Gran Gave me) that this Mum Wanted to Buy this House Which cost £1 Million. and she uses her Skills and makes money with them. To raise the Money for The Dream house.

Maybe this Lady could inspire you?

Hi, like you I am constantly looking for ways to make money! A boot sale is a good suggestion, I have done a few. Recently I have found that people like to pay the minimum, but if it is stuff you just want rid of, it's all good. They are also good places to get extra baby stuff. We got a Quinny pushchair in excellent condition for £35 as we were sick of taking our buggy back and forth to his Nan's house with him. She absolutely loves it!!
There are several home selling opportunities, you need to find out what is already available in your area though. If you are the only one selling for a particular company, you can get a better customer base. If you are in to art and craft you could always make things to sell. My friend's Mum makes cards and christening gifts etc.
